- Biden: “No, let the process work its way out.”
- Buttigieg: “Not necessarily, not till there’s a majority.”
- Klobuchar: “Let the process work.”
- Bloomberg: “Whatever the rules of the Democratic Party are, they should be followed.”
- Warren: “The convention working its will means people have the delegates that are pledged to them and they keep those delegates until you come to the convention, all of the people.”
The only candidate who supported the idea of the popular vote being taken into consideration was Bernie Sanders, who is likely to be leading in the popular vote come convention time. Seems like as a matter or principle, Democrats love to push the "popular vote" and following the "will of the people", at least as it pertains to the general election.
But here, in their own nomination process, where they actually control the rules of these elections, they all (but Bernie) take a different approach. In this case, they all want the chance to ultimately win, even if they didn't receive the most votes. How can any of these candidates be taken seriously on their claims that they want to abolish the electoral college over some sort of "fairness" argument, when they won't allow that same "fairness" argument to guide their own contest?
The reality is that there is no real guiding principle other than what is good for (in this case) each individual candidate, and what is good for their Party in a general election. I remember many Democrats praising the idea of the electoral college back in 2000 when many polls had Bush winning the popular vote, but Gore winning the electoral college. (It turned out to be the opposite, and then the opposite arguments took hold). Arguments of convenience, over arguments of principle. Once again it all boils down to the same thing...
Hypocrisy is the bedrock of liberalism... but maybe not socialism?
Or is it just all about what's good for me and mine?

yep.
precisely.
more than just simple hypocrisy, this reveals something worse - that democrats have no principles at all. all that matters is winning - by any means necessary. the electoral college was working just fine when it elected 0linsky twice. then cankles loses and the EC must be destroyed. just like that. because shut up.
what's interesting about the left's freak out over bernie is that, viewed objectively, his positions on key policy issues do not differ from the other democrat candidates, with the obvious exception of bloomberg.
The EC works when a Democrat is elected and is faulty when a Republican is.
Dumbass democrats have been pushing socialist policies for years now. And yet, they're shocked that their voters are about to nominate a socialist who puts out those policies. Dumbasses.
Their voters a very malleable.
CNN Reports:
"Washington(CNN)Pete Buttigieg's campaign sent a letter to the Nevada State Democratic Party on Sunday, alleging that there are "material irregularities pertaining to the process of integrating early votes into the in-person precinct caucus results" and asking the party to take three concrete steps to address the purported issues."
Trumps value of winning the popular vote.....I don't give a fuck as long as I win!!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!! BTW the goat fucker is extremely malleable and stupid!!!!!!
Another republican trying to prove settled science is wrong.....like cramps and GW and evolution are hoaxes.....BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!
‘Mad’ Mike Hughes dies in homemade-rocket disaster on mission to prove Earth is flat
Mike Hughes was perhaps the most visible advocate of the theory that Earth isn’t a sapphire and emerald globe revolving around a massive star.
I remember many Democrats praising the idea of the electoral college back in 2000 when many polls had Bush winning the popular vote
I remember a time when Lil Schitty was rational and advocated good things for the country instead of supporting a lying tyrant who don't give a shit about anything but his fat obese white ass!!!!!!
Hi Denny, how was church?
What State do you live In?
"Dick Morris said on 970 AM New York City’s “The Cats Roundtable” that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) “will get massacred” in 2020 by President Donald Trump.
Morris said, “Let me be clear: Bernie will get massacred by Trump. We’re not just talking about a minor defeat here. We’re talking about they lose the House. I think in the Senate, they could lose up to 60 seats. They could have up to 60 seat Republican majority, supermajority. I think that Bernie will get destroyed. I think the worst presidential defeat since McGovern.”
Democrat Voters are being told by the Democrat Leadership that they don't know what their doing by voting for Sanders .
And I am telling the goat fucker he needs to dump trumps fat old white ass.....BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Hey goat fucker....how can you go to church and support a lying whore monger like trump????? So much for your christian bullshit values......I have posted my state and town hundreds of times....your memory is as bad as trumps......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
